How Could I Forget...

...the Happiest Place on Earth??? Our good friends, the Shubins, blessed us with a day at Disneyland. We had an amazing time!!! Michelle met us there right away and Andrew came after work. Jack LOVED Andrew as all small children do:) My friend, Jen, and her kiddos met us for a bit too.

Jack went on all the "big" rides loving every minute of it. Michelle helped us strapping on Wyatt while I strapped on Grady so we could ride Pirates, The Haunted Mansion, and the Jungle Cruise. Michelle and I took turns with the big boys so we could enjoy the big rides too. I don't think I've ever laughed as hard as Michelle and I did on Space Mountain. SO much fun!

We ended the night with fireworks and Grady and Jack getting into a light saber war with their light up light sabers. Jack and Wyatt crashed out in the stroller on the way back to the car while Grady chatted up a storm on Scott's shoulders. I love going to Disneyland and love it even more when I can experience it through the eyes of my children! Thank you, Shubins, for such a wonderful day!

Our Miracle

"He performs wonders that cannot be fathomed, miracles that cannot be counted." Job 9:10 "You are the God who performs miracles; You will display Your power among the peoples." Psalm 77:14 Meet our miracle...and our secret. Yes, it is true. I am pregnant; about twelve weeks and a few days to be exact. We wanted to make sure this baby was healthy before announcing how great God has been to us! We have known about this precious little blessing for a little over two months and have eagerly awaited numerous sonogram and test results. We have witnessed God's mighty, yet gentle, hand every Tuesday for the past five weeks. This baby is a fighter. However, the road is not "clear" quite yet. We met with the pareanatoligist today to do a sonogram and blood test to determine if there are any chromosomal abnormalities; specifically Downs, and Trisomy 13 and 18. Although the sonogram looked great and the doctor said we were in the "safe zone," we are stil

Don't Lose You

When Jackson was a baby, I would hop into my car on my lunch break and rush to his day care to see him. I had thirty minutes with my baby and I needed every last second. I was a mess of a new mom and had a really hard time leaving him everyday. I was caught in the conundrum of loving teaching with all that I was and loving being a mom desperately wanting to stay home. I established a neat relationship with Jack's care-takers. They were a little older than me and much wiser. They will never fully know how appreciative I am for their advice and comfort during those beginning moments as a mama. When I decided to leave my teaching career and move halfway across the country to do so, they gave me a piece of advice that I didn't take seriously initially but now hold dear. They told me I had to find something for me. They watched me finish my master's that year and knew I was the type that needed to be doing. They recognized that I was about to enter a season where I had to hold

Monday Musings~You have been called...

"For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well." Psalm 139:13-14 ...to pray. Meet our newest addition; baby Fish. I am officially 8 weeks four days pregnant! PRAISE GOD!!!! We saw our precious miracle today for the second time; heart flickering away on the monitor with little arm and leg buds beginning to form. The doctor gave us a great report telling us that everything looks perfect...can't get any better than that. God is so good to us. We are blessed beyond belief to experience the miracle of life once again. Please pray for our growing family and our precious growing angel. We feel the presence of God daily and welcome and need your prayers.
